Cristiano Ronaldo

Never mind, Kayky arrives in January

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The stench of bullshit wafting in from this years open transfer window is truly overpowering.

 

[ManCitizens.]

How many more wingers and forwards do the Rags need?

Seriously, where is he going to play?

Where is Grealish going to play for us?

 

[Pollocks OG]

Just a thought, is there another spin on this that Pep didn't want Ronaldo and execs have gone in for him over his head? ie the comments about Ronaldo playing wherever he wants to play. Just another angle perhaps.

For the record, I'm not reading anything into either Ole's or Peps presser. Just enjoying the absolute meltdown on here.

If City are relaxed about bringing him in and United are only doing it to effectively stop us then that shows the difference between us and them.

Going to be some back tracking from that lot though. Not to mention pigs head orders being cancelled and shirts wishing they hadn't been burnt.

I'm afraid it won't be painted like that by the media, we would be seen as losing the bid to the scum. Fingers crossed we still got this and that was mind games by Ole.

 

[Cityinmud]

Would be pretty embarrassing to lose a one horse race tbf.

No. They will probably offer him more wages. We are not willing to do that for 36 year old. If he wants to join for sporting reason he is welcome. If it's MONEY he will sign for united

 

[Tugay One Cup]

“CR7” fanboys starting to get upset yet?

See so many people on here calling United fans Rags, but begging and preying for Ronaldo to sign!

He’s openly said he’s a United fan……he’s a rag!

"But he'd be our rag."

 

[supercity88]

Pep came across as managing expectation, whilst also distancing the club from any breakdown of a deal.

Shifting the onus on to the player deciding, gave us all we needed to know.

"It won't be our fault" - it smacks of damage limitation and at least knowing United have made a counter offer of some description.

It's more likely he doesn't expect it to go our way.

It was surely always going to go this way... I'm surprised we even bothered speaking to Mendes if United hadn't had their say already. It's a pretty obvious move for Ronaldo and the fallout from coming to City was always going to provoke the rag board into action because that's what they're like. Either City were fooled or they have just played a game to get the rags to pay over the odds for him. I doubt it's the latter!

 

[andyhinch]

This is our pride at stake here, we can't lose this to the scum. Heads should roll if we bottle this, wanting or not wanting him is completely irrelevant now.

The same heads that had to roll because of Harry or do we need new ones ?

 

[kanovic]

In a weird way, it may benefit us next summer if he goes to the rags. We may have a clearer run at Haaland but I'm clutching at straws here..

Haaland is not coming to us. Forget about it.
